RETURN Project Aims To Encourage Patients To Complete Treatment

Amongst the many frustrations dental teams face, the irregular patient who only attends when there is an emergency must come near the top of the list. Patients who fall into the regular irregular attendance pattern often end up requiring more complex treatment, because they have ignored recalls, or the warning signs that all was not well.
